20+ Nostalgic Memes for Millennial and Gen X Gamers

Gaming is better than ever. The graphics are out of this world, the possibilities are endless, and the games just keep getting more and more creative. It truly is an art form. That being said… GOD how we MISS the old school gaming. That gritty pixilated crap that we thought was the definition of the future. Playing split screen with friends. Or not having split screen and having to take turns playing! And oh boy would that plastic box get hot. You'd have to pull the desk fan over to keep it cool. Your parents would be yelling at you to go outside and play, but you were just trying to be James Bond on Nintendo. You'd pack your Gameboy for vacation and have a full fanny pack of game cartridges. But then in the car at night you could only see what you were doing when you passed the streetlamp. These memes are for you—let's get gamer nostalgic!
